Cask Ales at World Beer Festival Raleigh

In World Beer Festival Raleigh’s cask ale section, you will find one-off beers that have been cask-conditioned. Cask-conditioned beers are usually defined by a few characteristics: these are beers that complete a secondary fermentation in the cask; they are kept and served at cellar temperature (52-57° F); and cask-conditioned beers have less carbonation than those dispensed using carbon dioxide. This results in a softer, more creamy mouthfeel, and the slightly warmer serving temperature allows additional flavors and aromas to emerge.
